HOME MARKET.
An Abandonment of the Republican Posi-
tiOn in 1884.

"Thc surplus of this country must be
sold abroad or it can not be sold at all.
The foreign market. therefore, deter
mines in large measure the price
at which that surplus can be safely
held. Given Liverpool prices, rs those
are determined by computing demands
for the wheat of India. Russia. Turkey,
California and Chicago, the cost of
transportation from Chicago to Liver
pool and we can calculate with some
precision what the surplus at Chicago
may be expected to bring"
Commenting on the above from the
New York Tribune, after referring to
the home market ideas promulgated
by Mr.. Blaine in his Presidential
campaign, the Huntington Advertiser
says:
Here is total abandonment of the
Republican position taken by Blaine in
'S4. and an acknowledgment that while
the farmers of this country are COM
PEELED to sell their produce at the price
fixed in Liverpool, with freight added,
they are not allowed to buy on the
same terms. That is to say, if the price
of wheat in Liverpool is seventy-fve
cents, American currency, the farmer
must sell at that price with the freight
deducted. But if he goes to purchase
II suit of clothes, or lot of agricul-
tural implements, he has to pay the
price of those articles in London
with the cost of transportation and the
tariff added. The tariff increases the
cost fifty per cent. Thus it appears
that the tariff compels American farm
ers to sell what they raise at low
price, and when they have to buy any
thing they are compelled to purchase
at a high price in order that few
manufacturers may become rich. This
is what the Republican home consump-
tion idea does for the American farm
ers, and they begin to see it."

TARIFF REFORM.


1t Is Within the Province and Power OF the
People.
Daily the people of the United States
are paying toll of millions to the
tariff bolstered monopolies of the land.
Reforming the tariff is within the
province and the power of the people.
Yet this vital issue is either ignored or
wrongly viewed, and empty theories of
relief are put forward instead, the de-
light of the demagogue and a pretcxt
to the wretched proletaire.
We hope the Democratic party in
Ohio will make manful campaign on
this question of tariff. Let the pco-
pie understand the subject and realize
why the rich are growing richer, the
poor poorer.

present this fallP Upon what pretext

minds of the people on old war is

ago by the Democratic and Republican
soldiers of the North. After the South

re-admitted on Republican terms, and
the States thus admitted back into the

and since the Northern soldiers
were withdrawn, there has been
no more cruelty. riot or bloodshed
in the Southern than Northern

has quietly submitted and acquicsced
in its results. The South to-day is
prosperous as never before in its his
tory, and not q single man in the South
would renew slavery had he the power
to do SO. Then why all this agitation
concerning Rebel flags, jeff Davis,
Solid South, etc.P Simply because the
political life of such men as Foraker
and his clan depends upon the rekin-
ding of old sectional hate. But we
have an abiding faith that there are
enough people of sense left in this
great State to rcbuke tie rawlings of
men who would do injury to the best
interests of the country merely for their
own political advantage.

Protecting Party of tho Laborer.

1t is reliably announced that in the
nomination of Blaine in 1888. General
Master Workman Powdcrly will take
the stump against him, claiming he
can thereby do more good in opposing
the policy Of Blaine and the Republi-
can party on tho tariff question, which
he has thoroughly investigated, and
finds it affords protection TO tho manu-
facturer without beneiiting the laborer
There are many unmistakable symp-
toms that tho labor movement is being

A TOUCHING REUNION.
An Incident Which Does Not Accord witt

Republican Sectionalism.
While Republican orators and jour-
nails are appealing to old sectional an
imosities springing from slavery, the
soldiers of the Blue and the Gray are
constantly meeting for friendly inter-
course. One of the most striking of
such reunions was that recently held
at Bardstown, in Kentucky. 1t was
the annual festival of the First Ken
tucky Confederate Infantry Brigade.
known as the Orphan Brigade. The
spirit of the ex-Confederate soldiers
may be inferred from the following
remarks of Judge Fulton in his address
of welcome:
It's q rare occurrence In the history. of hu-.
man affairs for the followers Of q lost cause to,
meet in annual reunion to celebrate the glories
OF their defeat, and sing the peans, not OF VIC
tory, but OF failure, and to exhibit with pardon
able pride the trophies of their disaster. - And
SO it is soldiers OF the Orphan Brigade, para
doxical as 1t may seem, while winning you havo

divided country; you have won united land.
You have lost the institution of slavery; you
have won land with air too pure and frse fora

BOTH CAN'T BE TRUE.
Has the Governor Forgotten the Augusta
Speech OF Mr.. Blainee

Ah0S thO ooNerhOr EOESOLtSh tne AuBuoJH
Speech OF MIR. Blaine:
Governor Foraker, in his speech be-
fore some of his Ohio constituents on
Saturday. was led in his desire to
make points against President Clcve-
land, into what was really severe
arraignment of Mr.. Blaine's political
veracity. In order to show that the
Democratic President is responsible
for new outbreak Of dislOyal feeling
in the South, which the Ohio Governor
pictures as existing to-day, he allowed
himself to draw delightful sketch of
the quiet loyalty that had grown up in
the Southern States during the Re-
publican Administrations at Washington.
But, on November 1S, 1884, before the
Inauguration of President Cleveland.
Mr. Blaine, smarting under his finally
acknowledged defeat, made a speech
at Augusta. Me-, outlining the future
course of the Republican party, which
amounted practically to fitting it out
with n supply of new bloody shirts.
To show the difference in the South as
it was in 1884 drawn by Foraker and
Blaine, we bring some of their sentences
together:

Last year in Ohio $4,000 parcels of
land were sold for taxes, yet notwith-
standing this and the most open and
notorious concealment of personal
property to avoid taxation, Foraker
wants revaluation of Ohio land for
the reason, as he says that land does
not pay its full share of taxation.
Farmers are the men most interested
in this projected change. and it is to
their advantage to see that no addition

ask that increased means of reaching
